I want more enemies driven by desperation...

Isn’t that the Fallen? Their planet was ravaged by the Darkness and those that survived fell into infighting even as they followed the Traveler to our system. They went from a noble people to pirates, scavengers, murderers, and (according to Saint-14) cannibals. They preyed on, fed on, the remains of human civilization after our own Collapse and could not be bargained with as a whole because of their hopelessness and their fractured, constantly in-fighting houses lacking any global sense of unity.

Yes, they have largely been defeated now, except for the undead variant that tore apart the Awoken’s territory and perhaps Varik’s group that is regrouping somewhere. But... they (and perhaps the Vex and Hive) all sense their rapidly approaching annihilation and are trying to prevent it by any means necessary.

Granted, we know all this now. We should have known this closer to 2014... but we have what we have...
